Using Cordova

The ionic cordova commands (aside from ionic cordova resources) wrap the Cordova CLI. You can read about the differences in each command’s --help page. To learn more about the commands, see the Cordova CLI Reference documentation.

Ionic Pro

Ionic Pro is a powerful suite of tools and services designed for the entire app lifecycle, all in one integrated experience. Ionic Pro is fully supported in the Ionic CLI. See the Pro Docs to get started.

Ionic Cloud (legacy) will be supported until its end-of-life on January 31st, 2018. Until then, you can switch between Ionic Cloud and Ionic Pro with ionic config set -g backend legacy and ionic config set -g backend pro. Unfortunately, you’ll need to re-authenticate with ionic login each time the backend mode is switched.

Troubleshooting

If you’re having trouble with the CLI, you can try the following:

Make sure you’re on the latest version of the CLI. Update with npm update -g ionic.

Try running commands with the --verbose flag, which will print DEBUG messages.
